Senior System Software Engineer - CUDA Chips

About the role

We are hiring senior engineers to work on the CUDA driver, a core component of our platform for accelerating general purpose computation on the GPU. Our team delivers features and improvements to better realize the potential of NVIDIA hardware for a growing range of computational workloads, ranging from across deep learning, scientific computation, and self-driving cars, video games and virtual reality.

Responsibilities

• You can expect to be heavily involved through all aspects of development of our world-class products, ranging up front from design feedback, early modeling, simulation of hardware in pre-silicon environments, all the way through to early silicon bringup and final feature deployment in production software ultimately delivered to end users.
• You should be eager to learn about, and contribute to, the design of new compute and graphics drivers and new GPU architectures!
• In This Role, You Will Develop Software on Pre-Si environments(Simulation/Emulation)
• Own and drive CUDA enablement for new Silicon and Architecture
• Work with SW, HW and relevant teams to develop, stabilize and productize CUDA features for new chips and systems
• Promote, architect, and implement new features, as well as own contribution to bring up of CUDA on new chips
• Help define forward-looking improvements to the CUDA APIs and programming model, while driving development efforts across multiple teams
• Write effective, maintainable, and well-tested code
• Developing code for multiple operating systems

Requirements

• BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of relevant systems software development experience
• Strong C programming skills, knowledge of parallel programming
• Excellent knowledge of computer system architectures
• Experience with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory
• Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs
• Deep understanding of technology and passionate about what you do
• Good written communication as well as strong collaborative skills and ability to effectively guide and influence across groups

Qualifications
